Simone Inzaghi deserves more recognition for what his Inter side have done this season and his ability to adapt players to new roles.

Mini thread on Inter this season

#InterMilan 🧵 ⬇️ 🇮🇹 ImageImage
Inzaghi has turned Hakan Çalhanoglu, who has played as a number 10 previously, into a Deep-Lying Playmaker, where the Turk has excelled and kept Marcelo Brozović out of the starting XI.

Matteo Darmian has been one of Inter’s most consistent players this season.

The Italian has played in a Centre Back/Right Back hybrid position.

In previous seasons Darmian exclusively played as a more traditional fullback.

Darmian is now keeping out Skriniar & de Vrij out ImageImageImage
Inzaghi also made the mid-season decision to drop club legend, Samir Handanovic, from the side.

This proved an excellent call as Andre Onana has been brilliant as Inter’s first choice goalkeeper. Image
Following Inter’s 2-0 win over Milan in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Inter are on the verge of qualifying for the final for the first time since 2010.

Inter will also play their first Coppa Italia final since 2011 when they face Fiorentina in 2 weeks. Image
Mostly interestingly though has been Inter’s form in the league this season.

According to UnderStat, Inter are leading Serie A in the Expected Points metric.

Inter have an xPTS of 71.38 which is marginally higher than Napoli’s xPTS of 71.36. Image
Inter have conceded 5 more goals than what was to be expected and have underscored their xG by 4 goals.

With better finishing from Inter this Serie A title race may have been closer than what it was.
Just a month ago, Inzaghi may have been facing the sack as Inter went on a 6 match league winless run.

Inzaghi and Inter have got back on track with recent wins over Juventus, Lazio, Roma, and Milan.

They now have a chance at 2 trophies and finish in the top 4 this season. Image
